Arcadia Items.

Well, 1t seems that winter has set in now
in dead earnest. The men folks are all out
in their osercoats, and in each pocket there
ought to be two hankerchiefs to meet the
demands that come from the usual append
age during this present cold snap. 1t will
be we'll for every one to use some caution in
regard to fires. A very small piece of burn
ing SCOT dropping upon the roof might cause
a disastrous fire now while everything is so
dry. This reminds the winter of the autumn
of 1872 when there were several fires in the
Valley. During the cold November days of
that year when everything was about as dry
as at present, too much fire caused burning
hues, which resulted in heavy losses to
property.
Your Pilot Knob correspondent is con-
siderably agitated over the water famine.
This is bad thing indeed; but, Mr.. "Don,"
can console you by saying that when you
run out Of water up there just muster up
your crowd and come to Arcadia. We have
plenty of water vet.
Prospects for skating are very dim. The
creeks are low. That part of Stout's creek
west of Arcadia, known as the "Childress
hole" which, with the exception Judge
Russell's lake, is the finest skating pond in
Iron county, is completely dried up.
Our town is now infested with tramps.
The cold weather runs them into the sand
house by the dozens. Sometimes the rail-
road men can make them do little work
such as shoveling coal. Outside of this they
are a perfect nuisance. I think II the con-
stable would come over some night he
could make big haul for Pres. Whitworth's
boarding house.
Emmett Hinchey was down the other day
to see his old friends.
Doss Flowers has been on the sick list for
the past few days.
A. G. Simpson was registered in St. Louis
one day last week.
Louis Miller has a full force Of workmen
at work on his new building on main street.
This is to be a two-stcry business house.
The frame work is already up. Let the good
work go on. I'll tell you, Mr.. Editor, our
town is on the boom, if the Arcadia House
is closed,
Wishing the editor plenty of Thanksgiving
turkey, am, as ever, your GRANNY.

COiored Society Notes.

A baptizing took place Sunday afternoon
from the Baptist Church at Pilot Knob. The
ice was broken and the rite administered by
Rev. Hunter in the most approved style OF
their faith and order. Now, if there Is any
time during the present age that mans
faith in what he believes is tested, it must be
when the plain path of his duty seems to
lead down under the surface of the water
when the thermometer is below freezing
point.
Rev. Chas. Casey has gone to Lost Creek
to hold series of revival meetings. His
family are visiting friends in Fredericktown.
The trustees Of the NJ. E. Church are hav-
ing a new fence put in front Of the church
and parsonage.
Uncle Jack Armstrong with his barrel of
water is an important factor in the commu-
nifty at present.

and generously contributed to the material
needs of myself and family on the 10th inst.
make this public acknowledgements, not
that can adequately express my gratitude,
but because am unable to thank each per-

the substantial aid rendered, important as

by my church folk but by others, kind heart
